Wishing the World Peace and Harmony

I continue make art every day but on Day 6 of my March Art Challenge I needed some positive symbols of peace. For my warm-up activity I found these Chinese characters of Peace and Harmony.

Macro Monday – Diving into the Evergreens

On one of my walks this weekend I discovered that there were some interesting macro shots amidst the branches of the evergreens that I passed. I walked over patches of ice and mud to get a closer look. Here’s what I found.

Water, Water Everywhere – March 7, 2022

As the temperatures rise, the ice on the pond is melting to reveal water below. After today’s rain and yesterday’s balmy temperatures most of this ice will have melted.

Whatsoever is Lovely – Week 9

The temperatures are rising, the snow is melting and the sun is shining. Sure signs that spring is around the corner. I know that there is still a chance of more snow to come, especially since March came in like a lamb.
